I Have A Lot Of Gender-related Headcanons When It Comes To One Piece Characters But I Can Never Find

tashigi x baby 5!

this is definitely one of the rarest ships i have, since me and my boyfriend made them up for a modern au roleplay... they are very dear to me for this very reason <3

i know what you're thinking: i don't have anything against sai and baby 5 as a couple, i think they're very cute! however, i do find them a bit uninteresting when it comes to their dynamic. i think baby 5 deserves a partner that isn't embarrassed to show affection; to actually heal, she needs someone that's just as obsessed with her as she is with them, someone that's very devoted to her, in a "would shout my love for her from the rooftops" kind of way. from what we saw, sai is just too reserved and bashful to reciprocate baby 5's attention to the fullest. also, i can't lie, i just prefer wlw relationships over straight ones. not sorry!

tashigi might seem shy too at first, but she's also willing to go to war for the things she loves. she would be perfectly able to withstand baby 5's intense way of loving. in fact, she would build her entire lifestyle around it. she'd be obsessed with her girlfriend to insane degrees... always thinking about her and buying her gifts and doing whatever is in her power to go visit her as often as she could. she would do anything to see baby 5's smile. and baby 5 would do the same for tashigi because she's so, so in love with her. she would spend hours talking about her strong and beautiful girlfriend. i like to think about them going shopping together, baby 5 just going on and on about how strong tashigi is and how chivalrous it is for her to carry all of baby 5's shopping bags for her, while tashigi just blushes and tells her it's nothing compared to everything baby 5 does for her. just... insane and never before seen levels of mutual devotion.

every time i reread/rewatch punk hazard i find myself getting angry at the fact they could have met there but didn't. i Need to see them together. they would be such a powerful duo in fights too... the swordswoman and her weapon. i need to lie down

Been forever since I've drawn something, especially on a tablet. Had this idea in my head for about a week but realizing it was going to be Law's birthday was ultimately what decided it for me. I think he so deeply regrets never having gotten to tell Cora he loved him that Law can't bring himself to not respond whenever someone else he loves tells him so. A fact his crew totally doesn't abuse except for when they do.

i love how everyone is taking their favorite one piece fan letter characters and making them their ocs; i think it's exactly the point of the episode.

those characters are purposefully left without a name because we, as the viewers, are supposed to see ourselves in them. we're supposed to look at them and relate to them, find a character that was inspired by the straw hats in the same way we were. i think creating these characters and these stories is the best thing the one piece franchise could have done to pay homage to their fans.

the fan letter characters are supposed to be appealing and relatable because they're supposed to be our reflections.

that's why i love how the fandom is reacting to them: we are already obsessing over them, finding names for them, creating fanwork. and it's exactly what we were supposed to do; make those characters ours, make them personal, bring them to life.

belo betty x doll!

i unfortunately don't have a lot to say about them, because most of my thoughts about them are for my bf and i's modern au, but i really wanted to include them in here because i think they deserve to be more popular and i want people to know this ship exists!!

i mean, revolutionary x marine? and it's two girls? perfect dynamic. and their relationship starts exactly like you'd imagine it to: they hate each other's guts. but they're also insanely attracted to each other. so they start telepathically playing a game of "who's going to fall first" except they both fall at the same time. and then they would have to keep their relationship a secret, because they obviously don't want anyone finding out about the fact doll, a marine, is kind of seeing a revolutionary army executive. that would be catastrophic for the both of them.

so, yeah. enemies *and* lovers. the inherent romanticism of having to hide your relationship. and also the fact that belo betty would be able to open doll's eyes on the damage the marines are doing. love wins

BEPO!!!! BEPO IS HERE!!!!!!!!

this is our first time seeing a member of the heart pirates in more than one year if i'm not mistaken... i'm so happy i could cry... it fills my heart with joy seeing bepo safe and bandaged up. i can't wait to find out who's taking care of them, and most importantly i can't wait to see law again </3

mostly penguin x shachi stuff

i'm still gonna call shamrock "stabs" instead

LMAOOOO that's honestly a cooler name, surely gets stuck in your head more easily than shamrock

i don't know why, but in my mind i've always subconsciously associated shanks with four-leaf clovers. i think it's because of shuggy and a particular song that makes me think of them which mentions four-leaf clovers ???

so when i realized what shamrock's name referred to, i was pleasantly surprised. it might make more sense narratively once we know more about their past, but for now, i'm choosing to believe shamrock is the three-leaf clover because he wasn't actually meant to be the "chosen one", but shanks was.
